The Sámi people, traditionally known as Lapps, have raised reindeer for their livelihood for centuries. This semi-nomadic group inhabits regions across Norway, Sweden, Finland, and parts of Russia. Reindeer herding is central to their culture and economy, providing food, clothing, and materials for various crafts. Their sustainable practices and deep connection to the land reflect a unique way of life that has persisted through generations.
Reindeer are a source of both food and income for the Lapps (Sámi people) in regions like Norway, Sweden, Finland, and Russia. They are traditionally herded by the Lapps for their meat, hides, and antlers, and the Lapps depend on them for sustenance and economic livelihood.
